In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I would like to spotlight the positive impact that healing modalities, specifically CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki, can have on individuals facing cancer.
I have had the privilege of working with breast cancer patients, including my own sister, as they navigate their healing journeys. This year’s theme, “No one should face breast cancer alone,” serves as a powerful reminder of the important role that healing practitioners can play in providing comfort and healing to patients and their loved ones.
The Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy has been reported by patients with cancer to provide the following benefits:
Alleviating side effects from chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments
Decreasing or eliminating nausea
Increasing appetite to assist nutritional needs
Restoring sense of taste and smell
Restoring energy, vitality, and strength
Eliminating swelling and stiffness after long periods of immobilization during radiation treatments
Strengthening the immune system, which may be compromised from cancer treatment
Reducing the chance of infections
Improving quality of life
Decreasing pain
The Benefits of Reiki
Some research has shown that Reiki can help with symptoms such as:
Fatigue
Distress
Anxiety
Depression
Pain
Sleep difficulties
Research has also shown that cancer patients receiving Reiki treatment have reported improvements in their overall well-being and ability to relax. Learn More
Helpful Resources
My sister, now a breast cancer survivor, recommended these organizations that supported her during her breast cancer journey.
My hope is to spread love and light within the communities I am able to reach to bring support and resources for optimal health. My love and support shines out to all of those who have been affected by breast cancer.
Blessings,
Briana
